Tracing (1975?)

The work reproduced here (from Arkley’s untitled file slides, with process date May75) appears to be the most likely candidate for the canvas shown at Tolarno in 1975 with this title.

It was evidently an elegant example of Arkley’s early minimal manner, with its juxtaposition of the single, gestural sprayed line against faintly-outlined circles (in red) and short straight black lines (these details are difficult to make out in reproduction). Several comparable works on paper are extant, notably Untitled [A187] (c.1974-78) [W/P].
